PM66721: CKZ78203E SUBTASK 01, DATASET SNAP, RC=X'00000008, RS=X'00000004

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error message "CKZ78203E Subtask 01,DATASET SNAP, RC=X'00000008,
  RS=X'00000004' may occur when using EMCAPI during the copy
  process.  The problem stems from the fact that the error is
  returned not just in a message but in the API call itself. Any
  API error (a 4 in this case) results in termination of the copy.
  The code will be changed to compare the API return with
  MAX-COPY-RC value and if not exceeded, copies will be allowed to
  continue. To allow copies to continue if this error is
  encountered, set MAX-COPY-RC=4 and MAX-RC=4.
  

Local fix

• Correct the EMC copy environment to eliminate API return codes
  that exceed zero.
